Custom Themes For Your Discord
Since Discord only comes with two modes – Its default dark mode and light mode, you might want to change it to something cool. However, that requires you to download third-party software such as BetterDiscord. To do so:
- Close your Discord app if it's running.
- Then, start downloading BetterDiscord on your system.
- Install the software
- Join the BetterDiscord server, and go over to the #theme-repo channel
- Select the Theme that you'd like to be added to your Discord.
- Go to Discord settings, click on BetterDiscord, and then click "Themes" to open the Theme folder
- Click and drop the .theme.css file you just downloaded into the folder.
- Revisit Discord and press ctrl+r to refresh the page for the changes.
- Now go back to Settings, select BetterDiscord, Themes, and select the "enable the theme" option.
And that's it! Enjoy your custom theme on Discord.
